Casa del Mar is in La Romana.. We have been there twice...it has now been taken over by the Sunscape organization and has been improved. Because it is a small and compact resort we are thinking of going back this February..this is definetely a family resort.

We also have been there several times. Twice when owned by AMHSA, and in May, after Sunscape took over management. This is by far the best beach I've been to in the DR. Snorkeling is wonderful, because you can just swim to the reef. The resort is 1 1/2 hrs. from Santo Domingo by cab, and you'll be charged $80 US. There are 3 specialty restaurants, and we found the Italian one really good. When dining, please remember that patience is a virtue in the DR (as with any Caribbean island). The help is very friendly and eager to please, but move quite slowly. But, hey, you're on vacation anyway! We'll be traveling with 5 other friends next year, and this is the resort we've recommended to them. There are also wonderful photo opportunities, as the views are beautiful. Enjoy!
